#348 Keston Cobblers’ Club – For, Words

For a band whose energy is one of their greatest attributes, it’s great to hear Keston Cobblers’ Club taking a lower-octane approach with this excellent track from 2011. It’s an understated treat, and gives real weight to the swell and…

Glacier is the closing track to John Grant’s second record Pale Green Ghosts, which was released on Bella Union last year. We love the accompanying video, which shows the struggles and successes of the gay rights movement. Vladimir Putin could…
